How to fix .offset error when upgrading from jQuery 1.3.2 -> 1.4.2

Question

I just upgraded jQuery to version 1.4.2 and I am now getting an error on this line

var offset = $(settings.textBoxObj).offset({padding: true, border: true});

Before I upgraded I was not getting this error. Does anyone know if something changed in 1.4 to affect this line of code?

Your line is completely wrong.

In jQuery 1.3.x, offset didn't take any parameters, so your object was ignored.

In 1.4, offset allows you to move an element, so it expects an object with left and top properties.

You need to figure out what the parameter was trying to accomplish or remove it completely.
